This thread will carry important news announcements. Any member who finds it difficult to access the forum on a regular basis, and regrets loss of the old e-mail MV, might like to select Notify of replies (below) on this thread. I shall myself post all messages that appear here, and ensure the thread carries only news of gigs, CD releases and other major items.

A small additional quantity of the 'sold out' SFM reissue CDs has been located, and these are now in stock at Hillside Music. The restocked titles are the double CD of A King At Nightfall and The Road Of Silk, and the 2-on-1 CD of Secret Drinker and Live Libel. Each is available at the usual price, £10 plus P&P, from the Hillside Music online shop. Orders are being taken now for despatch towards the end of the week.

Pete has proposed an occasional e-mail newsletter, which he will compile and distribute, especially for those members who have only intermittent Web access, or for other reasons feel disenfranchised by the switch to the Forum. More info in his post here.
